So, no LOST repeat tonight, but I have a question about last week...spoiler font just in case...

If the date on Jin's grave was the date of the crash, how was sun really pregnant back home?...doesn't that mess with the whole time warp concept?

In the time warp concept, wasn’t there a concept of “correction” and that one life could balance another? Isn’t that what is assumed by Claire’s baby surviving when Clair apparently didn’t? It could be that there was a choice made, Jin or the baby. Don’t know how that works, I don’t write the rules.

And the other issue is, we know what “really” happened and what they tell in the cover story “8 survived, 6 made it off the island”, up to and including what they may have put on the grave, are two different things. There’s lies involved too.

Well, I don't like the time warp idea. But, a lot of things could explain that date on the tombstone. For instance, Jin could still be alive on the island with many of the other survivors, but to keep people from trying to reach the island (for any of many possible plot twists) the "Oceanic Six" may be telling the story that everyone else died in the crash, and hence, the date on Jin's "tombstone". That's just one possible explanation.
